MAAS Indigenous Design Symposium: 60 000 Years in the Making

Join us for a Practitioner’s Yarn-up:

Two days of sharing concepts and innovations in Indigenous design theory and practice with a range of guest speakers providing catalysts for conversation and yarn-ups showcasing the approaches and techniques of some of Australia’s leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. Designers, architects, engineers, urban planners and place makers whose work brings traditional cultural practices and perspectives into contemporary contexts.

During the sessions artisans will share their knowledge and perspectives, providing a window to new ways of thinking about how we can engage with, sustain and re-position skills and ways-of-doing that have been in development for over 60 000 years.
